The Euro: An Endangered Currency Species

Ten years and probably too young, or too late, to die. Is this the fate of the Euro currency?
I can't believe what these EU clown politicians are doing. Enough of listening them claiming "the EU is one country". Which we all know is not, neither substantially nor as a concept. We can rather say Europe is a system of "satellites" economically revolving around Germany which is showing excessive pride.
I have nothing against the Germans in principle but I'd love to see Angela and her friends act like they would really care about "their" European Union. Enough of jokes here, rather pull the lever that lifts the gravity and let the "satellites" go find their way through space as they always did. Some have milk, some have citrus, name it. No need to kill cows, or destroy the fruits, just not to exceed the production quotas assigned to a country. Too much of this or that? Get rid of it. Isn't this a practical way to put one country against the other rather than promoting true unification and respect? Does this help the economy? Well, Italy is very good at being inefficient by itself and the reason why we deal with a horrible public debt and new, heavy austerity measures.
Just admit the European Union and the Euro currency that drew our tears and blood were prank projects. The Central European Bank? I'd need a different joke.
